Gu Yixuan instinctively turned back to look at Qiao Mu. He had expected a disdainful glance, but to his surprise, she didn't even spare him a glance.
A sense of sorrow filled his heart, like a rabbit crashing into a fox.
Qiao Mu, accustomed to various reactions in life-and-death situations, wasn't shocked by Gu Yixuan's choice. In such critical moments, who could truly sacrifice their life for a stranger?
Gu Yixuan's expression darkened, feeling a mix of depression and indescribable anger. It seemed like he couldn't channel his frustration when facing this young Crown Prince Consort. If someone ignored you, there was no way to vent your anger.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yixuan forced himself to turn away with an air of nonchalance. As the most outstanding junior of the Gu family, he needed to maintain composure and not let anger cloud his judgment.
